A Garden Of Goals

Today the class worked on taking their three goals, (Character goal, academic goal & fitness goal) and creating flowers for each goal.  Like a flower grows, the students will work to make their goals into blooming accomplishments.  The flowers will be posted on a bulletin board in our classroom where the students can strive to turn their goals into acheivements.  Celebrations will be posted high in the room on clouds. 

Below are some photos of our work!

Welcome Back

Welcome back to school everyone.  I want you all to get used to posting to the blog again.  Some of you did a wonderful job posting and checking in throughout the summer, but I know it can be hard to remember if you haven't done it for awhile. 

Write a short post below:  What is your favorite part about the first day of school?

Back to School Night

Back to School Night is tonight, Wedesday, August 17th.  Classrooms open at 5:30.  I will be giving a brief presentation at 5:40 to share some information specific to 5th grade.  After that students will be able to label, put away, and organize their supplies.  Mr. Ross will be giving presentations in the auditorium at 6:10 and again at 6:40.  When you are done, we invite you to join the PTO out back for an ice cream social until 7:15.  If you have any questions, please call the office.  I'm in and out of meetings all day, so I may not be able to return an e-mail.  I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon!  :) 

Back to school letters

Hi Everyone-

     Hopefully you received your back to school letter from me this week!  I've been working in our classroom this week to get things up and running for us!  :) Check out some of the new features on the blog.   I'm looking forward to hearing all about your summers and about the new goals you have for yourself this upcoming school year.

     Be sure to think of three goals for yourself and complete the worksheet that came in the letter.  You will need these the first day of school so bring them with you!  :)

Please post a quick hello to everyone below.  Feel free to share something about summer, a feeling you have about starting 5th grade, or even just give us a quick shout out!  :)

Parents - Check out the post below this one for some school supply deals!
Hope you see you Wednesday evening..........(if not Thursday morning bright and early)

Mrs. Wagner  :)

School Supply Deals

Hey kids...........this post is more for your parents, be sure to let them take a peek at this list before you head out to do your back to school shopping.  Need a list of what is needed for school?  Click here for the D200 school supply list.

These deals are written up courtesy of jillcataldo.com.  They may help you with your back to school shopping.  The trick to back to school shopping is to NOT do all your shopping in one store.  Always shop the deals and take a week or two to complete your shopping.  Good luck!  :)

Book Trailer

Mrs. Sauber and I found a way to possibly use the Voki this year.  (Please see the post below first so you know what I'm referring to....)

Click on the following book trailer for "11 Birthdays."  Please again let us know what you think.
Can you tell we are learning lots of new things?  We are so excited to teach you how to do these for yourself!

New Feature!!!!

Mrs. Sauber and I are taking a technology class this week and we are learning TONS of new things to share with you this upcoming school year.  If you take a look to the right you'll see an avitar.  Please click on her and listen to my message. 

I'd love some feedback, please post below what you think.  I'd also like to know how you think we can use this in our classroom or how it can make our blog even more creative!  :)

Missing you.............

Hi everyone.........

I haven't seen many of you on the blog in a few weeks!  No worries if that is the case, we will get back up and running soon when we are all together again at Westwood.  In the meantime, if you happen to check in here is your question of the week.  As always, I look forward to hearing from you.


What are you most looking forward to in 5th grade?
